Freezing or glitching apps
When watching apps like Netflix or Disney+ on my sky stream puck, the picture either freezes or glitches. With Netflix the glitching gets so bad that it eventually causes an error with the app. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have done all the suggested steps and even reduced the streaming quality (which another user suggested on here) and none of it has worked.

@Griff300490 Have you tried an app refresh? If not go to Settings, System management, Resets & updates, and select App refresh. This does take a few minutes but wait until it returns you to the Home Screen and see if that fixes it

Hi @Stephen+Mourton . Yes I tried this and it worked for maybe half a day? Then everything returned to how I described it.

Re: Freezing or glitching apps
Is this only some of the apps you are having issues with?
Is your live and linear TV channel viewing stable?
Sky Stream with two pucks via wifi (former Sky Q and Sky+ customer).
Sky Ultrafast + using Sky SR203 hub. Sky Mobile unlimited data. Sky Smart Home - Bundle Smart Home plan +
My good journey to Sky Stream from Sky Q. Click here to read

@lettice no this is with all of the ones I use/pay for I.e Netflix, Disney and Prime. Weirdly it's ok on BBC iPlayer. Live TV is unaffected.
